COOK'S NOTES - I prefer the appearance of bow-tie pasta to seashells, although have made with both - have subbed frozen orange juice concentrate for the limeade, but prefer the lime - on occasion, I have substituted cracked coriander seeds for the dried thyme and fresh cilantro for the fresh thyme, however, I do prefer the thyme - I confess to a love affair with sesame oil, but it could be partially substituted with vegetable, peanut or olive oil if you do not share this prediliction
